Extract text from EAP files
To convert your EAP file to another format, you need Enterprise Architect or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "UML Modeling Project" file type, you need software like Enterprise Architect or a similar tool.
The .EAP extension primarily refers to Enterprise Architect Projects created by Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect, a premier UML modeling and lifecycle tool. While these files appear proprietary, they are technically Microsoft Jet Databases (Access .MDB format) renamed to .EAP. This legacy architecture is a common source of problems: users cannot view diagrams without the specific paid software or a dedicated viewer, and the file size can bloat rapidly.
For broader accessibility, users often need to convert .EAP files to PDF or HTML for documentation, or to XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) to migrate models to other tools like StarUML or MagicDraw. Newer versions of Enterprise Architect have shifted to the .QEA (SQLite) format to overcome the 2GB limit of the Jet engine.
A secondary, unrelated use of .EAP is the AXIS Camera Application Package. These are GZIP compressed archives used to install plugins on AXIS Network Cameras. Users facing these files often need to extract them to view the manifest or source code.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EAP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EAPX, QEA, EAP-CONFIG, AEP, EA, KYS, JET, PDF, XML, X_T, ZIP, PLN and SLDDRW files.
If you want to convert EAP file to PDF, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT or DB, you can use Enterprise Architect or similar software from the "UML Modeling Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to EAP, try Enterprise Architect or another comparable tool in the "UML Modeling Project" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our EAP converter.
